The document is a science assignment submitted by Fiona Antoinette Concepcion that discusses Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro and key chemistry concepts. It defines molar mass as the mass of a substance divided by the amount of substance in moles, atomic mass as the mass of an atomic particle expressed in unified atomic mass units, and formula mass as the sum of atomic masses in a molecule's molecular formula. It also explains that Avogadro's number is the number of units in one mole of a substance, equal to 6.022140857 × 1023, and can refer to atoms, molecules, ions or other particles depending on the substance.

Submitted To: Sir Neil Bryan Dapetillo Who is Amadeo Avogadro? Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro di Quaregna e di Cerreto, Count of Quaregna and Cerreto (9 August 1776, Turin, Piedmont-Sardinia – 9 July 1856), was an Italian scientist, most noted for his contribution to molecular theory now known as Avogadro's law, which states that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure will contain equal numbers of molecules. In tribute to him, the number of elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions or other particles) in 1 mole of a substance, 6.02214179(30)×1023, is known as the Avogadro constant, one of the seven SI base units and represented by NA.
Define the following:
Molar Mass- In chemistry, the molar mass M is a physical property defined as the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by the amount of substance.The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol. However, for historical reasons, molar masses are almost always expressed in g/mol. As an example, the molar mass of water: M (H2O) ≈ 18 g/mol
Atomic Mass- The atomic mass (m ) is a
the mass of an atomic particle, sub-atomic particle, or molecule. It
is commonly expressed in unified atomic mass units (u) where by international agreement, 1 unified atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a single carbon-12 atom (at rest). For atoms, the protons and neutrons of the nucleus account for almost all of the mass, and the atomic mass measured in u has nearly the same value as the mass number.
Formula Mass- Molecular mass or molecular
weight is the mass of a molecule. It is calculated as the sum of the atomic mass of each constituent atom multiplied by the number of atoms of that element in the molecular formula. The molecular mass of small to medium size molecules, measured by mass spectrometry, determines stoichiometry. For large molecules such as proteins, methods based on viscosity and light-scattering can be used to determine molecular mass when crystallographic data are not available. What is Avogadro’s No.? Number of units in one mole of any substance (defined as its molecular weight in grams), equal to 6.022140857 × 10 . The 23
units may be electrons, atoms, ions, or molecules, depending on
the nature of the substance and the character of the reaction (if any). See also Avogadro’s law.
